Dear Endnote List:

I cannot seem to open Word documents from the finder when Word 5.1 and my
Endnote module library are open and no other documents are open.  To be
more specific, if I start Word and then close the untitled 1 document and
open my endnote library from the word menu, I cannot open any word
documents by double clicking in the finder.  It simply swiches back to Word
and no doc opens.  The only work around I have found is to leave a document
open in Word and then any document I load runs.

I realize that this is a small problem and I am still a great fan of both
Word and Endnote, it is just that it is a little anoying when working with
a lot of files from the finder.

Is this an Endnote bug or a Word bug?

Apologies if this has come up before.

David

First, are you sure about the following sequence?:

If I close the untitled window, I _can't_ choose the EndNote Plus module
from Word's Tools menu--All of the EndNote menu options are dimmed.

However, if I run Word, choose the EN+ module from Word's Tool menu, then
close the Untitled document, I _do_ have the same problem (being unable to
open documents from the Finder) that you report.

If I'm remembering correctly, I've also had another, probably related
problem: If the EndNote+ module is running in Word and I choose restart or
shutdown from the Finder, the shutdown process stops at Word. (I.e. it
doesn't successfully tell Word to quit.)
